Even with a win, I think the Jets might have beat the Giants for worst opening game of this season. Rough either way for the NY teams that share a Jersey stadium.
49ers got a QB with moxie, too. To soon to say Brandon Aiyuk is a “hall of famer,” but he sure torched the Steelers. CMC did, too. Good weekend.
Aaron only took 5 regular season snaps as a Jet.
(The last snap was his tendon.)
lol. I just wanted 65%
So the one man who left was Rodgers?
I would’ve had more sympathy before the Covid situation, in which he may have arguably killed people.
This thread title was unbelievably prophetic.
How much of a golden parachute does Rodgers have? Is he still getting his agreed-upon salary + medical bennies?
He signed a reworked three-year, $112.5 million contract with the Jets last month, which includes $75 million in fully guaranteed salary between this season and next. Even if they cut him today (which they almost undoubtedly will not), he’ll still be getting a ton of money.
Draft Kings had an analysis of it:
Rodgers is due $1,838,888 in base salary for the 2023 season and $3,161,112 in base salary for the 2024 season. With the guaranteed $35 million option bonus, that effectively leaves him under contract with the Jets for 2024 unless there was some kind of restructuring. They could release him as a post-June 1 cut, to avoid a big 2024 hit, but they’d have to carry $49 million in dead money on their 2025 salary cap. If they did that, they would still carry $17.1 million in dead money in 2024.
It wasn’t just Rodgers who is now hobbled in the Jets organization.
We don’t like the Patriots, but they beat us with one of the best quarterbacks of all time. And we got him good a few times, too.
The Jets? Fuck the Jets.
It’s not enough that they bring a decent fan base to Dolphins home games (there are a lot of transplanted New Yorkers in south Florida).
It’s that they’ve spoiled Miami games, and seasons, without deserving the success.
In 1986, Dan Marino throws for 448 yards and 6 touchdowns. And Ken O’Brien wins in overtime.
Monday night decades later, I go to bed with the Dolphins up 30-7. They lose to Vinnie Testeverde.
(Ok, it’s mainly the drunk New Yorkers talking shit in the upper deck end zone seats).
Here, too. Like when Dale Earnhardt got killed. I wanted him to get his comuppance a little at a time, not all at once.
Catturd was funny on twitter, he posted Tom Brady comes out of retirement to QB for the Jets.
Not Brady, but supposedly this is a thing that actually happened, not a meme:
Well they can only go up from here! One would hope
That’s nitpicking.
Maybe they just wanted to get all of that out of the way as quick as possible.
